To get started, navigate to Gift Cards > General Settings in your WordPress dashboard and enable the ‘Gift Card Product’ option. This automatically creates a demo gift card in your store that customers can purchase. You can also manually send gift cards to specific users via the ‘Send Gift Cards’ tab to reward loyalty or run promotions.

Understanding Store Credit

Store credit is a prepaid balance that customers can use to shop without paying cash or using a credit card. This balance can be kept in the customer’s account or issued as a voucher, which they can use at checkout for their purchases.

Gift cards provide an easy way for customers to share store credit with friends or family, increasing your store’s revenue while ensuring repeat business.
